The CS Library Kiosk supports two authentication methods to access the system: barcode-based student ID login and email/password login.

​
Student ID Barcode Login

The fastest way to sign in is by scanning your student ID barcode at the kiosk.
1

Navigate to the login screen

When you approach the kiosk, you’ll see the “CS Library Sign-in Portal” welcome screen with a student ID input field.
2

Scan your student ID

Position your student ID card barcode under the scanner. The system will automatically read the barcode and populate the Student ID field.Alternatively, you can manually type your student ID number if the scanner is unavailable.
3

Press Enter or click Sign In

After scanning or entering your ID, press Enter on the keyboard or click the blue “Sign In” button.
4

Access granted

If your student ID is valid and your account is active, you’ll see a welcome notification and be taken to the catalog dashboard.
The system validates your student ID against the database and checks that your account status is active before granting access.

​
Email/Password Login

For users who prefer credential-based authentication, the system also supports email and password login.
1

Access the email login page

Navigate to the email/password login interface. You’ll see fields for email address and password.
2

Enter your credentials

  • Email Address: Enter your registered email (e.g., [email protected])
  • Password: Enter your password
Press Tab or Enter to move between fields.
3

Sign in

Click the “Sign In” button or press Enter in the password field to authenticate.
4

Successful authentication

The system verifies your credentials using bcrypt password hashing. Upon success, you’ll be logged in and redirected to the dashboard.
Passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt. The system performs case-insensitive email matching for convenience.

​
Test Accounts

For testing and demonstration purposes, the following accounts are available:
Student IDNameEmailPassword
12345Kenneth Molina[email protected]changeme123
11111Jose Gaspar[email protected]changeme123
99999Professor James[email protected]changeme123
You can use either the Student ID (barcode login) or the Email/Password combination (credential login) to access any test account.

​
Session Management

Once authenticated:
  • Your name appears in the top-right header next to the account icon
  • The header displays “CS_LIBRARY KIOSK” branding with the SCSU logo
  • A logout button is available in the header to end your session
  • Logging out clears your session and returns you to the login screen
The system automatically focuses the input field when you load the login page for quick barcode scanning.

​
